The Name of the Rose - Named after the city in Germany.

This is a large flowered hybrid musk with blooms that open a deep pink with white centers and dotted with bronzy gold stamens. The large blooms make a nice showing from a distance. A strong spring flowering is followed by a few sparse blooms throughout the summer before another showy display comes in the fall. It is a robust shrub (about 4 x 4) with a somewhat ungainly habit that sometimes needs pruning to keep it in shape. Fragrance is strong and musky. Disease resistance has only been fair but my bush suffers from over-crowding. It would probably be much happier with room to spread.
